With all your experiences, I think you'd be disappointed by the pheasants here :( :D When I was a kid, me and my dad used to go fishing, early in the morning, with a workmate of his, Arthur. As we drove along the country lanes, we'd regularly come across a pheasant, standing in the middle of the road, looking stupidly into the headlights. Arthur would jump out, wring its neck, and throw it in the back of the car. Sometimes we'd come home with 2 or 3 pheasants :D :thumbsup:

Have a great weekend everyone :thumbsup:

just curious ... sorry ... How is using a traditional "smoke pole" in any way "handicapping" oneself?

Fantastic front stuffer you have there. What caliber is she? What's your hunting load? 😇👍

Muzzle loaders and iron sights have been successfully feeding folks for over 700 years and counting.

Them new fangled "breech load'n guns" for only 160 years.

Magnifying rifle scopes have only been around for about 110 years ... just before "The War to End All Wars" broke in 1914.
(earlier scopes were heavy, barrel length, non-magnifying, and fragile. A peep rear and globe front sight were more practical - and rugged.)

Black powder has been used to feed folk for as long as muzzle loaders been in use.
The "Smokeless" powder used nowadaze was a mid - late 1890,s development; a "evolution" of "Cordite".
The Russian 1891Mosin Nagart bolt action rifle in 7.62x54R (rifle in use by the Russian/Soviet military until post WW2. The cartridge is still in use, in their "SQAW" (Squad Automatic Weapon).
BTW, the 7.62x54 is not only the cartridge with the longest continous military service record (1891 to present) it is also a rimmed cartridge.) was one of the first smokeless cartridges. The .30-30 Winchester, which has been used to harvest countless whitetail deer sine it was introduced in 1894, is another early smokeless cartridge.
(Older cartridges currently available loaded with smokeless powder, such as the .22 short/long/long rifle rim fire, .45-70; .44-40; and .45 Long Colt were originally a black powder cartridge.)

YES!!! Some of the old originally black powder factory cartridges (the .47-70 being notorious in this regard) are underloaded to less pressure and velocity than the original black powder loads. (the .45-70 also uses a lighter bullet now.)
The original military load for the "1873 Trapdoor Springfield" musket: .45-70-500"
(black powder cartridge nomlicture: (1st) Caliber/(2nd) Grains Powder/(3rd when used) Bullet Weight; everything you needed to know to re-load the empty cases.)
The factory .45-70 cartridges are underloaded to be safe for use in the original 1873 to 1891 Trapdoor Springfield's still in use. Current factory bullet weights are 350 and 400 grains. (some "+P" .45-70 factory loads have a 535 or 550 grain bullet.)

The trapdoor carbine used a .45-70-400. (More than twice recruits using the carbine what ... "upset" ... the range instructor ... were given the musket's .45-70-500 cartridge (they look identical) for a couple shots at random with the 400 grain carbine's cartridge.)
Both had the same 70 grain FFg (or Fg, depending on the ammo lot) powder load. The "extra" 100 grain bullet weight significantly increased the recoil.
(FYI: the .45-70 even underloaded AND with a 350 grain bullet is NOT a "light" or "moderate" recoiling cartridge. A 12 guage 3" magnum slug fired from a 5 pound break-action single shot shotgun has less felt recoil. 🤯😳😳)
